first of all... I don't know where 2000 RPM's is on my car, because my car doesn't have a tachometer :eek: I have to listen to the engine to know when to shift.

secondly, I am getting the hang of it now, I really only stall it when trying to start going when my car isn't on a level surface, and it's going uphill. and I've mastered the art of the "rolling stop", so I don't need to come to a complete stop at every stop sign. lol. but I am getting the hang of it, and I drove maybe 5 miles on real roads (real meaning that there were actually other cars on the road... and since it was a saturday, there were lots of other cars on the road...) today. it's getting easier and easier, and I thank you all for replying.
